We Have Settled. We Don’t Need A Divorce Mediator. Yes, You Do.

March 28, 2022 | By Beth Reineke

Mediation services include so much more than just assisting the divorcing parties in reaching an agreement. If you are getting divorced and you already have a “kitchen table” “handshake deal” with your spouse you still need an experienced professional to go over the terms of your divorce agreement to make sure you didn’t miss anything, and you need a professional who can convert your verbal divorce agreement into a written contract which will be approved by the divorce court.

Once an agreement is reached, your divorce mediator is the neutral gate keeper. Because she is neutral your mediator is the best person to draft your Marital Settlement Agreements and Parenting Plans. She doesn’t take sides. She doesn’t put anything in or intentionally leave out anything which will be a “gotcha” for either party. Her goal is to draft an agreement that says what you think it says in plain understandable English so you can stay out of court now and stay out of court in the future.
